Boot Server Name Enter the name assigned by the system administrator for the boot

server. Optionally, you can clear this ﬁeld and the software will assign

the default name “bootserver.” If you are booting from the local disk,

this parameter is ignored.

Boot Server Inet Address Enter the Internet address assigned by the system administrator for the

boot server in decimal dot notation (for example, 207.67.135.84). If

you are booting from the local disk, this parameter is ignored.

System Boot Directory

If the Freeway boot ﬁles will be stored in the home directory of the FTP

(or RSH) user account, clear this ﬁeld. Otherwise, enter the full path

name of the boot directory. The default UNIX directory is

/usr/local/freeway/boot. The default VMS directory is

SYS$SYSDEVICE:[FREEWAY.BOOT]. For Windows NT versions earlier

than 4.0, the default directory is c:\freeway\boot. For Windows NT

4.0 or later, use the alias you have set up to point to the freeway\boot

directory.

To boot from the local disk, set the system boot directory to //

System Boot File Name Enter the system boot ﬁle name for this Freeway. The default is ff

Configuration File Name This parameter contains the ﬁle that Freeway uses to conﬁgure the

physical devices and services. Enter the ﬁle name for your Freeway. The

default is bb

. For any Freeway using ICP_IP virtual ICP

devices, the default is

Secondary Network

Interface

If the Boot Device is a local area network device (boot server), the

Secondary Network Interface parameter should be cleared, which is

the default.

If the Boot Device is the hard or ﬂash disk, this parameter speciﬁes the

local area network device to be used after the Freeway boots. Set this

parameter to ff

to use the primary Fast Ethernet (on the CPU board)

or ff

to use the secondary Fast Ethernet board.

Gateway Inet Interface If your Freeway and boot server are on the same network, clear this

parameter, which is the default. If they are on different networks, enter

the IP address of the gateway processor on the Freeway’s network that

provides access to the boot server’s network.
